Moby is a 5-ft. 8-in., ghostly white, completely bald, born-again Christian, vegan rock star. Born Richard Melville Hall, he is the great-great-great-grandnephew of Herman Melville (thus the name).

...those shareholders a big fat buyout - in the form of lots of shares in the profitable Comcast - and call it a day. Certainly Comcast's $58 billion offer - made loudly to shareholders Monday after Armstrong balked too many times in private - was just an opening bid; no decent M&A gets done at first sight.
